Preamble The Independent School Health Association is a non-profit organization founded by employees of NAIS member schools. With the exception of its executive director, its staff and committees are composed of members of independent schools who care passionately and deeply about the ability of health to influence all aspects of independent school communities. ISHA Mission Statement The Independent School Health Association ("ISHA") aims to support the development and sustainability of health and health education in independent schools. Our mission is to equip independent school communities with the information, skills, and resources to navigate emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, and socially their health and well-being. We are also committed to illuminating the relevant associations between health and academic achievement, and how they influence student motivation and potential.
